Eibar lost the lead they had held for fifteen games and Real Valladolid took advantage of their valuable victory in Ipurua to move two points behind the gunsmiths and cling to the possibility of direct promotion in their last chance, when there are still nine points in dispute . Gaizka Garitano’s men had not lost in their fief since the second day. In total 18 consecutive games without defeat, but today Valladolid was superior.
It was a final, but in a final draws are not worth it. It seems that only Valladolid understood that. It is true that a point was very useful to the locals but they did not appear in attack, and the pucelanos went for the game from the beginning until they managed to pierce Cantero’s goal on two occasions.

Ipurua pressed from the first minute, but Valladolid knew exactly what was at stake. Llorente scared his head before the fifth minute, but equality was still the starting trend. Of course, Valladolid was taking control of the territory as the stopwatch progressed, but without creating clear chances in Cantero’s goal.
Eibar burned the ball at their feet, they were not capable of combining, while the pucelanos continued to elaborate with a patience that the locals seemed to lack. The last section of the first part was somewhat more difficult in Igualado. The break was reached with a draw that seemed to benefit the locals more.

The gunsmiths knew they were playing with fire and started more aggressive in the second half, at least preventing the blanquivioletas from having complete control of the game. El Yamiq had the first in his head, but his shot from the edge of the small area incomprehensibly went wide. Cantero saved another goal before Stoichkov committed a dubious handball penalty that Nacho scored to give Valladolid life and further tighten the top of the table.
Far from settling for the goal, the pucelanos smelled blood and achieved the sentence in the 80th minute, with a goal from Weissman after a great play that, to be honest, did justice to what was seen on the pitch. This is how the end came. Eibar lost the lead and their direct promotion options will be at stake in the last three games, two of them away from Ipurua.
